I am looking for some help on why ABC Channels in Melbourne, Australia are not being picked up correctly in Channel Scan. On clean install of NPVR they are showing as unrecognised. The same system / Hauppage quad tuner scans them correctly through WinTV.
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
With these 'Unknowns' it scans the OTA Guide correctly, but when I start changing the names back to the correct ones the Guide scanning seems to break - reducing to current program only (this is a bit flakey so I am not sure exactly which change causes it). I have included sample of the XML from one of the Unknown channels
Is this an issue with what ABC is broadcasting, or is there a lookup library somewhere that manages it? Not sure where to look. The OTA Guide is pretty good here so keen to get this to a clean and complete install.
I have just checked this on a clean image / install of NPVR and taken the logs from that.
Not really sure what this issue is related to but since it occurs in the guide I figured thats what I'd label it.
I currently use zap2xml to get my guide data. I use the -A parameter which alters the title of new/live episodes to include an * in the title.
It appears that when it alters the title with the *, NextPVR interprets any other listing of the same episode that doesn't have the * as a completely separate show.
The problem I am running into is if a series recording is set up that runs into a conflict, NextPVR does not realize the episode is being aired at a different time to resolve the conflict because it doesn't have the * in the title.
Is there any way for NextPVR to recognize that listings without the * in the title are actually the same show?
is there any way to select what audio stream is used for playback i just tried a recording and by default its playing the stream that is narration for the blind. same for live tv to on that channel
This has happened a couple of times since upgrading to v4.1, the most recent was a TS recording of 'The X-Files' on Fox. The show was recorded earlier, and there was apparently a less than perfect OTA broadcast signal.
After two attempts, I was able to play the file successfully using VLC, and I did notice some stuttering and dropouts at the same place in the program. It crashed NextPVR at exactly the same place both times.

I get the following error every time I try to watch live TV with my Ceton InfiniTV tuner on Windows 10. I have been running this configuration for years with no issues. It broke when I upgraded to latest version of NextPVR. I get a short blip of audio, but no video and then it stops working with the following message from Windows: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have attached my log files to this post.
I tried rolling back to the previous version of NextPVR, but it still didn't work.
Thanks for any help you can offer in getting this resolved.

I've installed the app on my phone and tablet but it doesn't connect, is there something I need to do in NPVR? I have w10 x64 Pro with latest version of NPVR. My phone is a HTC M8 running android 6.0, tablet is Firetablet HD 10".

The was a corresponding error message in the Windows Applications log. Application: "NextPVR.exe

Note that this error message has a .Net Framework version 4.0.30319. The .net Framework version on my win 10 system is 4.7.1. I noticed that Nextpvr has its own .net Framework directory
As I search how to download/record live streams, I see few words used often.
I read thru this forum few hours, and learned few things about downloading streams.
TS, PMT/PAT. How corrupt PMT will not play TS files.
NPVR is TS player, etc....
Before NPVR I been using "stream downloaders" that downloads PART files then append/aggregate into final MP4.
Then I see NPVR final file is TS but plays in other media players.
I am only a simple end user, not coder, little tech knowledge about downloading, TS, encoder, etc...
So here are few curious questions. I may not even be posing questions correctly.
1. Is PART file same as TS? Or TS part of PART files? NO such file as PART but only TS files?
Downloader I used sometimes has PART file extension but I can't play in any media player.
I guess cus incomplete download?
This tells me PART and TS are separate files?
2. "NextPVR is just recording a dump of whatever comes from the device"
I see NPVR final file is TS that can be played.
So is NVPR downloading many small TS files in a container called sample.ts file?
so as long as PMT is good then any players can play NPVR TS file?
3. Downloaders I used has final MP4, So are they "converting" "append/aggregating" TS into MP4?
Why don't NPVR give final MP4 instead of TS? just asking.
4. What does "append" " aggregate" PART chunks into MP4 mean?
Is there programs for this? or chunks are just added to a container with file extension TS or MP4?
I've just published v1.2.180325 of the new NextPVR android app to the Google Play store. The application costs US$6.99, which will help cover my costs, including buying another couple of android devices in future for testing. To use this application, you need to be running NextPVR v4.1 or higher.
